Buy EKWB waterblock or EVGA Hybrid kit?

[ChrisxIxCross]

I'm currently planning on getting the new Titan X, unfortunately it's reference only so my two options are either get a EK waterblock and integrate that with my Predator 360 w/ QDCs or get a separate EVGA Hybrid upgrade kit which is confirmed to be coming out at some point in the future. My concern with the EK option is how much extra heat would that add to my loop w/ my 6700k running at 1.3v/4.6ghz vs essentially having a completely separate loop with the EVGA solution. Anyways any advice would be greatly appreciated! 

 

P.S. I am fully aware of the horrible value for performance ratio the new Titan has. So no need to lecture me on that please. I don't want 1080 SLI & I don't want to wait another 2-3 months for the potential 1080 Ti. I currently run a 3440x1440 monitor and I also just recently bought myself an HTC Vive. So even though I'm fully aware the price is ridiculous, I honestly think the Titan X is my best option in my current situation and for the long term

Well it is a 360 rad so you should be fine adding the titan X in the loop.

Usually it's 120 per heat source + an extra 120 for OC and to be on the safe side.

Alright cool I think I'll be leaning towards towards the waterblock then, EKWB also confirmed that the ETA for their Titan Block is end of August whereas EVGA has said they're still in early stages of developing a Hybrid cooler for it.

A 360 rad is enough for a CPU and two GPUs, so it will be fine.

So how much extra heat do think 1 GPU will add to the loop, just a couple degrees?

maybe like 5-10

Hmmm that doesn't seem too bad. I currently run the 980 Ti Hybrid atm and with a single 120 the hottest it ever gets is around 60c

EK Predator 360 with 6 Noctua NF-F12 cool my i7-5820k @ 4.5GHz and a GTX 1080 @ 2.1GHz without a problem. Temperatures and noise are great.

Before adding the GPU into the loop I ran a EVGA GTX 980Ti Hybrid, but the pump of the Hybrid was back than the loudest part in the system (even with lower voltage).

Edit: And the Hybrid couldn't cool that GPU as good as the Predator now does.
